About

Breakthrough T1D Australia, formerly JDRF Australia, is a national health charity dedicated to accelerating life-changing breakthroughs to cure, prevent, and treat type 1 diabetes (T1D) and its complications. They primarily fund critical research and advocate for the T1D community, often through public fundraising appeals and community engagement.

Tips for Applicants

Breakthrough T1D Australia is a fundraising charity, not a grant-making foundation in the traditional sense. They raise funds for their own mission. Therefore, general grant application tips are not applicable. Individuals or teams can participate in their fundraising appeals to support their cause.

Giving Philosophy

As a fundraising charity, Breakthrough T1D Australia focuses on soliciting donations from individuals and teams, often through specific campaigns like 'Tax Appeals' and 'Giving Days,' to directly fund research and support initiatives aimed at type 1 diabetes. Their approach emphasizes broad community involvement in fundraising and direct investment in scientific advancements.
